The UK Post Office Horizon scandal, marked by false theft allegations against staff, has prompted MPs to call for due process and the restoration of public trust in the Post Office. DavidDavisMP shared thoughts in the Telegraph, while GwynneMP highlighted the importance of trust restoration. Debbie_abrahams raised a case of a subpostmaster who lost £250k and is anticipating a meeting with the Minister for justice. The scandal's severity was amplified by the sudden removal of the Post Office Chair and an ongoing inquiry. A four-year campaign by Chris and KateOsborneMP culminated in a petition delivery to No10, demanding full compensation for subpostmasters. Over 6000 signatures were collected for a petition to save Clapham Post Office, supported by JohnnyVaughan, BellRibeiroAddy, and others, emphasizing the need for government intervention.
The UK Post Office scandal is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in modern British history. At its heart are false allegations that staff had stolen money. The years' long saga is now the subject of an inquiry. #ABC730 https://t.co/zG3iggjxHO

The government must intervene to protect the vital services provided by this branch. https://t.co/xGLWaVJeWo

The Post Office Horizon scandal is one of the most insidious injustices in U.K. history. The Chair was suddenly removed over the weekend. Viral that Horizon victims don’t face further delays in getting justice, exoneration and compensation. https://t.co/SmO6PYjbmv

I raised the case of a local #subpostmaster who lost £250k in the #HorizonScandal. I am looking forward to meeting with the Minister to discuss this campaign and secure #justice https://t.co/4RrkcaN8sw
The Post Office Horizon scandal is a terrible miscarriage of justice. But in our haste to correct it, we must not abandon due process. My thoughts in @Telegraph: https://t.co/4nSemUIkmo
